Please rate my game! I want to get 20 ratings!

diwo 2018-08-13 08:24

nice ! I rate you

predominant 2018-08-13 08:25

There were no instructions. Neat simple game.

smithy 2018-08-13 08:26

Why an installer and not just an executable?!

mitsu-artemius 2018-08-13 08:27

The ghost is nice, but more graphics and audio would help. :)

alisiena 2018-08-13 08:27

@diwo @predominant Wow. Didn't realize people would bother to download my game. I will go ahead and play yours right away!

gulfick 2018-08-13 08:28

Really simple game.

Hi Alisiena, the installation went well, but when i entered the option (where i couldn't change anything) and pressed accept, the game froze. 40392480-a25f-4aa1-88c9-5a9f580435e9.jpg Anyway I played the entire game (eheh I know, I'm a pro) and it's intriguing! The only tip is to change the mechanic where the walls tighten around the ghost because it seams you cannot go there, while it's just a measure of time. I get it, it's for the theme, but I think it's a bit forced. Anyway good job!

alisiena 2018-08-13 08:33

@dagoret hmm, so you couldn't change anything in the options? And after pressing apply the game froze? I will look into it!

triplefox 2018-08-13 08:37

That was a surprisingly scary download because the game has almost no identifying information, not even a screenshot posted, and it triggered not only the "may be harmful" warning on Chrome, but the Windows Smartscreen warning, AND the administrator "allow this program to modify files" warning. Next time, please just put everything in a zip file. It won't trigger all these false positives from anti-malware tools, and most people rating game jam games expect to play 20 games a single time, so they would rather not see 20 of them cluttering their desktop.

For those wondering: The game is a plain Unity3D game wrapped in an installer. The installer is what set off all the alarms.

Now, the game itself. The game is very simple but it's OK for a first effort! You seem to have a decent idea of how to use Unity's UI, now the challenge is for you to develop some more advanced techniques.

For example, the game doesn't seem to notice when the ball thing(?) has already fallen outside the edge of the map. That makes it unfair because then I can't win anymore. So there should be a feature that moves it into a place I can reach.

alisiena 2018-08-13 08:41

@triplefox Sorry, I followed Brackeys tutorial on youtube on how to set it up as an installer. I thought an installer would be easier. I used inno to do this. Oh now I understand. Sometimes, when the ball is quite far, you have to spam your keys. I tried it and tried to make it as hard as possible so people won't get bored.Thanks!!!

bill-wheatley 2018-08-13 08:49

Yea a little scary but thanks for putting it together. +1 for the zip recommendations. Please join the next LD as well. :)

alisiena 2018-08-13 08:49

@bill-wheatley Thanks!

furtive-pygmy 2018-08-13 08:57

Risky click award goes to @alisiena Nice job otherwise :)

alisiena 2018-08-13 08:58

@furtive-pygmy LOOOL. Thanks! Made my day(morning).

bigjigglyproductions 2018-08-13 09:03

Great concept, I encountered a lot of bugs:

"Next Level" broke after a couple levels I couldnt change the gfx quality on a 1920x1080p monitor (scaling is off) installer wouldn't run till the 5th try.

other than that, the game, if given more time, would actually be a pretty neat game! Great job man!!

Hope my feedback is helpful!

alisiena 2018-08-13 09:05

The game looked so perfect in my eyes while I was testing. I used PlayerPrefs to set a level. Don't know how that could break. I need to look into this! @bigjigglyproductions

bigjigglyproductions 2018-08-13 09:07

Glad I could be of help :D

somuch 2018-08-13 09:08

Simple but fits with the theme. Super rough around the edges. I think I finished the game after approximately 10 levels as the next level button didn't work anymore? But if this was your first time using Unity it was still a good job. Remember you can only get better :)

alisiena 2018-08-13 09:14

The next level stopped after 10 levels because there are only 10 levels. This is the first unity game I have "published". Thanks!

vivek-sharma20 2018-08-13 09:27

Hi , if you developed the game in Unity you can build the browser version which will make it easy for people to rate :) small suggestion.

deniskazantsev 2018-08-13 09:28

Congrats with the first game! If you made this with Unity, it better to make WebGL build. It will help to avoid different display resolution problems at least.

nnnikki 2018-08-13 10:22

Umm, what do the blue tiles do exactly? Pretty much nothing. Also at one point when I pressed "Next level", nothing happened, so I quit and went to level 2, but there it said that I haven't unlocked it yet??

alisiena 2018-08-13 10:27

@nnnikki If you touch the blue tiles, you die. But I found out why sometimes it doesn't register.

bungalow 2018-08-13 11:01

Super quick and easy game, which is understandable, given the fact that we only have 48 hours. the controls and what to do are intuitive. After a couple levels I couldn't press Next Level though...

sdrrv 2018-08-13 11:46

Super simple game! I liked it though! Keep up the good work mate! ;)

admiralspacekraken 2018-08-13 12:30

A very cool concept, and the installer was quite nice. Though the "Next Level" button broke after a few levels. Also a few of the greens dots required you to spam the keys a lot.

eric-kulbiej 2018-08-13 13:17

Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

ulcius 2018-08-13 18:07

There was no instructions, but the game was really self explanatory and it's always a good thing! It was simple, but yet idea was kind fun. Would play it for a longer time :D

alisiena 2018-08-14 14:43

@diwo @sdrrv @smithy @ulcius @somuch @nnnikki @gulfick @dagoret The full release of the game is out. This was the version I was meant to upload. There is no install and you download using a zip!

biebras 2018-08-14 15:04

I don't what to say. To simple. No explanation how to play or I didn't see that, but it's really cool that you tried your best well done ;)

tontonpizza 2018-08-14 15:05

It works, i see the point, but it need some additions though.

good luck

odin 2018-08-14 15:15

Even if the game is basic, the concept has potential with beautiful graphics and musical accompaniment

flower 2018-08-14 15:15

it needs to be finished) Nice work)

frontlinesaint 2018-08-14 15:19

nice and simple and you can add to and it was enjoyable

crazi456 2018-08-14 15:24

Nice little game! Great start for your first published game :D

diwo 2018-08-14 15:34

I rate you I like your game !

danielpancake 2018-08-14 15:38

I would love to see some screenshots of the game on this page. Game is good kinda. But I wanted to see more art or smth. Concept is very simple. With right art and music it would be a really good game.

alisiena 2018-08-14 19:15

@danielpancake Yes, but I am working on another game. I can't spend time on this game anymore. I spent 2 days programming the UI for my new project. I want to put my best into this new game I'm working on.

saddaystudio 2018-08-15 21:58

Hello!

This game is interesting, the idea was very good and I was very very entertained. We had a full time (We only died once, hehe)

You just need a little more graphics and sound, solve the options menu and go. I think it would be a very, very good game.

The truth is that the idea is very good, and we had a lot of fun, it just takes a little more style, very good work!
